Just some decision updates. Have decided I will get the 4.5" superlift kit and some 35x12.5 nitto trails. Possibly re gear to 4:10. Any clue how helpful re gearing on my edge actually is? Those are my plans anyways.

It's basically is like a plastic/rubbery paint that if you don't like you can just peel off without damaging the paint/finish under it.

Added some StP Sound deadening product to my truck today. Uploaded is an audio file to let you hear the difference.

http://yourlisten.com/channel/conten...deadening_F150

Here are some pics of the install. Enjoy!

First obviously remove the door panel.



Basically pull back the moisture barrier enough so you have access, I didn't find it necessary to remove it, you would want to though if you were going to be doing the bracing for the door as well though, I didn't find that necessary personally.



Then I just cut them into 3-4" wide strips and started putting them in horizontally. Make sure to overlap them just a tad bit though. With each layer though make sure that you offset the junctions..



Then when done, put the moisture barrier back on and you can choose to add some sound mat (foam) if you want, I did.



and you can add some to the door panel if you want, this wasn't as important to me but I did add some.



then put it all back together.

Now on to the rear door. Same steps of course.



And if your curious this is what I used. It was all StP GOLD.

It has been super reliable. Never had anything wrong with it. 54k miles problem free.
